I found out about WC in July 2001 when my EX joined.  I joined in Jan 2002 because she wouldn't let me use her account anymore and told me to get my own.  To bad I did join then, my # would have been 15034.  

I actually discovered this site back in 2001......but didnt actually join until 2006.......



(slow learner)  

September of 2007 when I got my computer, and I was googling for DreamScenes.

12/11/2001    Have Had a GOOD TIME!!!  

I joined WC in October 2005 .. so I am still a relative newbie here ... I was recommended to get Object Desktop by the nice folks from my Home Site ..Desktop Sidebar ... as at the time I was a newbie and I wanted to find out what I could do about changing my desktop to match my sidebars ... I have learnt so much from the folks on here , from Zubaz to Po to 2of 3 and loads of other people and more recently all the guys and gals from the Troll Thumping Suite ..., and of course the DS forums ! Without the advice from everyone here and there , for which I will be extremely grateful , I would probably still be stuck on XP classic ...   I have tentatively begun a WB and I have recently discovered Winstep ( Thanks so much for the fun ,Jorge! ) ~ so to me everytime I boot up I look forward to finding summat new ... BTW congrats on 7 years WC ..  

ive only been a member since 2004,but do remember using window blinds 0.6 or 0.7 and do remember a certain frog skin, i think(been a long time)

I joined WC in January of 2002, but been using Object Desktop since 2000 (though the disk says 2001, I think its a replacement disk because my account says 2000) (so i guess I am an old one). Anyways... I don't remember how I cam across Stardock, but I was using StyleXP awhile there. I have always found an interest in skinning and wanted to learn to do it on my own, but I ended going in the networking end of the spectrum and never got around to learning how to skin. Though I hope to still one day do so. Anyways it has been a great community to be apart of. I think the skinning community is and will be one of the largest and longest lasting communities around that share a common goal yet still very close. Hey.. lookie here.. anyone remember what these looked like... I haven't bought software on disk for so long now. But anyways... amazingly enough I actually kept this   

hey, whats up with line breaks not appearing in the postings???

Have been a member since May 2004 but had been visiting for a few months prior.


How did I find the place? Well I was wandering around the internet looking for things to cover up the Fischer Price look of XP and I tripped over the welcome mat outside. Just as well, too, I found some great stuff inside and have never looked back.

December 2002 here, it was hard to miss the best skinning site on the Internet then (and now)!

I bought WB 1.? and have been hooked ever since. When WC started up, it was icing ong the cake. I've lurked pretty much twice a day since. Love the place and the folks here!

Happy Birthday Wincustomize! I've been a member since 2004 and was useing at that time 3.1 fond the site from stardock and stayed ever since cheers   have a colddey

well here we go... been a member since Mar 18, 2005, found the site looking for something to improve my computer, downloaded some WB's and docks and love them, then i tryed making some WB's ect and was getting somewere (I Think) and WORK got in the way, till now....... i'm hoping to be up and skinning soon :NOTSURE: . you have to LOVE this site..... thanks to all who make it possable. Robbie boy

Got into WB a long time ago, don't actually remember the date, but I remember the day I first came across skinz.org, been hooked ever since. As for WC, I've been here for a long time (i.e. since the first or second day the site opened), but I'm just a lurker, subscriber and general bandwidth hog ...

User No. 19770 I joined on Jul 23, 2001. Believe it or not I bought and have been using Windowblinds since Ver 1.0. Woohooo, We've come a long way baby!! RAD

was browsing the web looking for desktop enhancement toys - one site was mentioned a trial of WB, went and looked at SD, decided to buy the disk (never had any trial version) and found my way from there to here.

I came over the first week WC went live, from Skinz.org.  When I stumbled on to Skinz.org I tried eFX before WindowBlinds. If some of you newer folk could have seen how WC was put together in the beginning...it was like moving into a new home still being built. But the guys got it going pretty fast.

I remember Windowblinds.net had it's own gallery. and Skinz.org had a skin browser which I think I still have on a CD somewhere.  

Oh well enough of the history. Long Live Thug Life!  

"Member" since May 2002, but around for longer than that. Started messing with IE 5's built in "skins" and Neoplanet,then found Windowblinds.

I started back in'98 as a wallpaper artist and quickly got into Litestep theming. I was one of the refugees from Skinz.org that came over when Skinz finally died. I was a Wizop here for quite a long time, and although I don't do that anymore I'm still very involved in Wincustomize and skinning and spend large parts of my day here. I still love it, and many people here feel like family to me. I was originally known as Mr.Mercury when DeviantArt first started,and also at Customize.org and Deskmod, but became BoXXi when I joined Skinz.org. B[]

long time ago, when the older skin sites were dropping left and right. i think brad mentioned something on skins.org and I came to check it out.

Don't remeber. I was alot younger back then though...!      

I believe the date was around June, 2004. I came across WindowBlinds on some site...don't remember which one and thought I would try it out. I was tired of the same old Windows boring skins and wanted something with a little more kick to it. Voila, WindowBlinds was the answer. I joined Wincustomize and have enjoyed the best skinning site on the Web. Although I don't have the talent to make skins, I marvel at the talent that is displayed here at Wincustomize. There is a skin for every taste that you can think of.The variety of colors and themes is amazing to find in one place. Wincustomize is one of my favorite sites as I visit once or twice a day. After purchasing Object Desktop, my computer is full of the bells and whistles that I had never imagined could be possible. Thank you for this wonderful site, and thanks to the fabulous skinners that keep us coming back for more and more!

I believe it was my husband who found wincustomize first about 4 or 5 years ago back then I registered under a different name but at the time couldn't afford to subscribe or purchase OD but since then things have changed and well I love WC and don't plan on going anywhere any time soon!!

I joined back in 2004, looking for a better replacement for StyleXP....WindowBlinds!

It started way back with windowblinds 1.0, joined the site in March of 01 and have never looked back. If I remember correctly I found windowblinds via an article on customization way back. This has been a great ride and looking forward to what's next.
